Haven't been here in awhile due to getting my license.........and by the way, it's not that hard, no matter what Broadzilla would like to believe. Anyway, I work at Brunswick. Initial DSRO's make $43 & change while in class. After, that depends on your grades, etc, but should be around $48/hr plus $18k/yr license bonus, plus performance bonus (10-15% target.) So, one of the best Southeast locations is doing a little better than what you've quoted. Good on you for asking. Apparently Mike doesn't care if he's getting underpaid and therefore doesn't think it's prudent to ask on here. I suppose it is possible that I am lying to you about our pay, but I interviewed (and was offered a job) at Grand Gulf, Vogtle, Catawba, Robinson and they ALL offered a starting pay about where Brunswick did, so I don't imagine that their licensed pay is all that much different. The exception was Grand Gulf. They offered quite a bit more to start (~$15k/yr), but if you've ever been there, you'll know why.
